Today, we will drive to Barsheni and our trek to Kheerganga starts from Barsheni. Distance from barsheni to kheerganga is 12 kms and will pass through Nakthan-Rudranag-Kheerganga. Nakthan is a little town of 10-15 houses with some bistros, maggi point and a pool table under the trees. Trail from Nakthan till Rudranag is a stroll through apple plantations, is exceptionally calming and lovely. A little sanctuary, waterfall and a wooden bridge wear Rudranag. Separating for lunch here prop for some lofty move till Kheer Ganga. We will traverse to opposite side of Parvati stream and will take after the trail till Kheerganga. There are bunches of stream intersection and lay focuses in transit till our campground for the day. Kheerganga is little settlement of temporary tent sanctuaries. It's a vast meadow and has a hot water spring with a pool. Reach the campground you can clean up in this pool presumably your keep going for the whole trek.

Day 3: Trek from Khirganga - Tunda Bhuj

We will take an encouraging start from Kheerganga and will head towards Tunda Bhuj our campground for the day. As we start, the trail is slippery instead of the mostly rough ones that we had experienced, the earlier day's trek and will be very nice on the feet. Whole trail today is through thick woods, aside from exactly a gentle rising here it's basically level. Today is presumably one of those occasions when you will have plentiful time to take photographs and let the excellence of this scene absorb in. As you go through the thick wood you will be shocked to discover families settled in this wild overseeing crowds of their huge bison. The last stage is a precarious ascent loaded with filth and soil that is trailed by a short stroll through a field with a captivating perspective of couple of immense frothy waterfalls off the rich green meadow on the opposite side of the stream. This is Tunda Bhuj. We will camp here for the night which is in the Pin Parvati trekking package.

DAY 4: Trek from Tunda Bhuj- Pandu pul

The trail continues through meadows and flowers and waterfalls. After about an hour of walking downhill from the camp we will reach the first of the showstoppers. The bridge seem to have been decently built when it was first built, however, time seemed to have taken its toll and whatever is remaining is held together by ropes. All the ropes have left the bridge leaning on one side, which earned it its name “TedhaPul”. One by one we will cross it safely. The bridge is followed by a steep hill. After that it is a decent walk among lush green grass and clear water brooks and rocky spots in between to rest on. After about an hour and half’s trek we will be crossing a river which involvs ropes but without the usual platform. This one will be a completely new experience for most since it involves sitting in a cart and pushing and pulling to finally make it to the other side. Horses grazing in the grasslands is a picturesque sight here. Dealing with the marshes and negotiating the many wet fields of wild flowers we will trek till we reach the third bridge. The inconspicuous presence of the 3rd showstoppe make it very difficult to notice. It looks just a dull lazy rock lying in the midst of nowhere. The bridge comprises of a huge rock which we have to ascend to the top and then slide down to a spot where a narrow path of rocks lead to the hill on the other side. We will cross it safely one by one. Only after we have crossed the PanduPul 1 that the presence of the second Pandupul is revealed. Pandupul 2 comprises of an even bigger rock than Pandupul 1, to whose base we had to scale using again one of the pebble stairs and from then on climb the steep face to the top and then climb down a stone staircase with no proper footing or holding. We will safely cross it one by one. Today’s campsite is just after crossing the Pandupul.

Day 5: Trek from Pandu pul to Mantalai

The trek today is quite a comfortable one with a nice path leading through green grasslands that are used by the shepherds to graze their livestock by paying a nominal fee to the government. Slow and steady and with a break or two now and then we reach Udithatch, a great plain among the craggy Himalayas, a rare sight at such height. The day offers various picturesque sights and photographers can make good use of it. Next we come upon Khadapatthar, which as the name suggests is a rocky area with many small streams. Be careful while crossing them as rocks can be very slippery. After crossing Khadapatthar we reach the great swamp which we safely negotiate by going around rather than through it and thus we reach mini Mantalai. Its a beautiful grassland of myriad flowers and diverse hues, rocks laden with bright colored algae and fungi and a plethora of flora complementing each other and with the river meandering along innumerate twists and turns through this beautiful grassland. It is a spectacular view indeed. After scaling a rocky mountain which in itself seems unending we finally reach our destination, Mantalai. Mantalai is a big lake formed by the blocking of melt waters from the Mantalai glacier by a mountain that runs across the valley leaving only a small opening which results in a small yet highly noisy waterfall. Here is a temple of Lord Shiva. Today we will camp near the lake.

Day 6: Trek from Mantalai- Parvati side base camp

As we leave Mantalai Lake behind we cross the river lane which is a little steep. Then we walk through high rocky areas and glaciers. This high altitude region is surrounded by snowy mountain peaks & glaciers. Today we will camp at the base of the Pass. Camping here is some experience to look forward to.

This is a strainuous day of this trek. After 3-4 hour of steady trekking we will reach the pass. From here you can have a bird's eye view of the pin valley towards Srikhand Mahadev. Depending on the weather we will spend some time here to cherish the view. You can feel proud of yourself having reached 5298mts after trekking through a variety of terrains. From the pass we start the descend to pin valley. Lookout for ranges of Dibibokri and Kulu Makalu which look fascinating. Walking through high rocks & ice fields we will reach our campsite for the day.

Once you cross the pass, you enter the mighty Spiti valley. Spiti will be a welcome change in all her vigor. Spiti region is generally dry with less rainfall and snowfall. The walk from here will be fast and easy. You are expected to walk almost 15kms on a rocky terrain. The trail is well made as it is used by many shepherds. You will notice many grazing goats and sheep and their shepherd tents. Spiti has different shades of brown and green. Magnificent mountains covered on both the sides. The campsite at Tia marks the end of the muddy trails, from here starts the road which is currently abandoned due to landslides.
